You might try binding C-j in the minibuffer so that it self-inserts. That's
what I do in Icicles, where it's not unusual to use multi-line completions
and input.

I use C-n and C-p in the minibuffer to move between input lines. I didn't
understand what you said about those keys. 

In addition, I use a version of `end-of-line' and `beginning-of-line' that,
when repeated, moves to the end/beginning of the next/previous line. That
helps in moving about long lines of multi-line input.
